I’ll start. Apt next door is having a cockroach infected. 4 days ago, I was playing sims on my laptop, wearing my eyeglasses. Right lens got blurry, took off, huge cockroach was crawling across inside of lens. While I was wearing them. Freak out ensued.
I was 7’ish, living in Florida and spotted something shiny in my black bean bag. Reached down, grabbed it with my hand then screamed as it wiggled its way out. I am almost 50 and still traumatized by it. Mind you this is ginormous Florida cockroach /palmetto bug bigger than my child size hand.

Personally I’m up at 5 anyway and my kid has to be up by 6 for school. But in a previous no kid life I wouldn’t prefer that either.

I have been using an independent local pharmacy for a good year now. I can get a Rx filled in 5 minutes. Rarely do I have to wait more than 10 minutes. I take 8 medications daily. Only once did I have to wait until next day and they’ve kept it in stock for me ever since.
My cat is “newly” diagnosed. Vial says good for 42 days. It’s about that time and I still have 1/2 of a vial left. He’s on 2 units twice a day. Has anyone tried the pens? Would they be more economical at this dose? With insulin so expensive it would be nice if they sold it in 5ml vs 10 if it expires so quickly. :(. Any...
